A beautiful illustrated cookbook for children and adults that celebrates imagination and pleasure in cooking. Fun and modern for families packed with recipes for meals, snacks, treats, and a whole lot of humour.
Alexandra Tylee's lively inner ten-year-old knows exactly what food appeals to children and how to talk to kids about food. She trusts them to choose flavours and handle equipment in this joyful book that will set them on a lifetime love of healthy cooking and eating. She is the owner and chef at Pipi restaurant in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, author of two cookbooks, and the mother of four sons. Her first children's book If I Was a Banana was published by Gecko Press in 2017.
Giselle Clarkson's illustrations are salivatingly delicious and subversively playful. She is a freelance illustrator and comic artist - illustrated Joy Cowley's The Gobbledegook Book (2019). She lives in Wellington.
NZ Book Awards wrote "The pages of this beautifully designed and illustrated cookbook await the splatters of eager young cooks as they learn essential life skills while creating simple meals or celebratory dishes. From basic cooking skills such as boiling an egg, chopping an onion and knowing when a cake is cooked, the novice home chef can go on to produce complete meals and desserts. The judges praised the varied and thoughtful content of the book, with recipes presented methodically and spaciously, accompanied by luscious illustrations, often with humour."
